We've got 4 years to work on that. We have to hammer the primaries and the mid terms and get more people active in trying to get STAR voting or ranked choice, or pretty much anything except FPTP.
Canvas for your dog catcher and every other piddly position that gets elected. Don't wait to fall in love. Vote for the furthest left that can win any given election and keep pushing left.
I'm strongly considering running for my state House or Senate seat, since neither is contested in my district. I'll need help canvassing for signatures, but hopefully it gets people to notice third parties.
My platform is basically:
I have opinions on the rest of the common issues, but I'm willing to budge on most of them to get a nomination.
I'm registered Libertarian, but I'm willing to run on any ticket that'll help me get signatures. I don't expect (or even want) to win, I just hate uncontested seats.
If you're in a similar area, I highly recommend you do likewise.
Where is it you've tried RCV? We have it at the state level in Maine and it seems to me to work pretty well.
Utah allows cities to opt-in to RCV for nonpartisan positions.
